In this section, you will find settings that apply to suppliers.

Bank giro number as supplier code?

This setting cannot be used if suppliers have already been registered using other codes than their bank giro numbers. In practice, this setting only allows you to register suppliers in Sweden that have a bank giro number.

Activate Authorize supplier invoices for payment by default for new suppliers

If you activate this setting the Authorize for payment for supplier invoices will be automatically activated for new suppliers in the Update Supplier procedure.

"Authorize for payment" means that all supplier invoices with this setting must be authorized for payment before they can be paid, that is, a type of payment approval. You authorize the invoices for payment after they have been final coded in the Register Supplier Invoice procedure. During the authorization the invoices will get the status Authorized for Payment.

You authorize the supplier invoices in a special procedure in the Accounts Payable called Authorize for Payment. The purpose of authorizing for payment can for example be that a manager or superior must do a final review of the invoices before they can be paid.

Sending XML files in an e-mail message containing purchase order and claim is a function in MONITOR-to-MONITOR.
